Re: Car lost all power and completely shuts off??

What RonJ said. Try to duplicate it at home. Try to isolate whether it is fuel or spark related. Gotta go from there.

Re: Car lost all power and completely shuts off??

While checking everything, also check the ignition switch cause when that's going bad, the engine will cutout and die (at the same time the whole dashboard goes dead). But that does not explain why...

Re: 93 del sol ign switch help!!
